Calling https://manage2.cpanel.net/XMLaddPickupPass.cgi?pickup=hello+world in a web browser will produce XML output similar to the following:

<XMLaddPickupPass
    reason="Successfully added pickup phrase 'hello world!' for joe@example.com"
    status="1" />

Calling the function using the URL above will return XML data by default. To change the output format that will be returned, use either of the following URLs:

• JSON — http://manage2.cpanel.net/XMLaddPickupPass.cgi?output=json&pickup=hello+world
• YAML — http://manage2.cpanel.net/XMLaddPickupPass.cgi?output=yaml&pickup=hello+world

For more information about each of these output types, visit our Choosing an Output Type documentation.

The following is an example of a Perl module that will call XMLaddPickupPass.cgi. You can use this module to pass input variables to a Manage2 API function.

use cPanelLicensing;
my $cpl = cPanelLicensing->new(user => $user, pass => $pass);
$cpl->addPickupPass(pickup => $pickup);
